How is the CRD involving First Nations in public input?
In partnership with the Provincial Government, First Nations engagement is one of our key priorities when planning for wastewater treatment in the Core Area. We are eager to work with our First Nations neighbours in a meaningful way on the project to seek their input, to apply their input to avoid problems and to seek opportunities to work together. Given the complexities of the wastewater treatment project, the legal requirement and genuine desire to engage and consult with First Nations, and the number of other important endeavours taxing these First Nations’ capacity, this pursuit can be expected to be an important element of the wastewater treatment project.
